It is not very often that you see a Shoebill moving, this year we were lucky enough to see one catching fish!

Very cool, Ken. Talk about a prehistoric look. I like the flower in the lower left. Nice work.

Great detail and great look at the bird's face in the "larger" version.

Seeing this, definitely convinces me that dinosaurs are the ancestors of birds! This shot with the Shoebill swallowing it's prey is about as prehistoric looking as you can get! Nice capture of the action and very good composition and processing, Ken!
